A few years ago my world changed dramatically when our youngest was diagnosed with food allergies. Overnight we had to rethink how we fed our family. Everything from meals to the smallest of snacks needed to be scrutinized. We were fortunate that William outgrew two of his big allergies, eggs and dairy, but the pesky allergy to peanuts and tree nuts has hung on. Through diligence and yes, even fear, our household has become a family of stellar label readers. This has made me appreciate companies like Dare Foods even more.
When William started school last year I become one of “those” moms. I provided lists of safe treats and brands to my school. I harassed talked to them daily for the first month about hand washing, not sharing food and what the signs of Anaphylaxis are. On that list of peanut and tree nut free snacks I was able to include my son’s favorites like Dare Bear Paws and Wagon Wheels! Imagine my absolute delight when, at the start of the back-to-school season this year I found out that Dare has gone one step further. Introducing the new Dare Bear Paws and Wagon Wheels made with Wowbutter!
Wowbutter is a peanut and tree nut free spread that looks and tastes just like peanut butter! Dare has taken a huge leap forward and added Wowbutter to some of their most popular items so that children just like my William have even more options when it comes to choosing a safe snack. The three varieties currently available are:
- Wagon Wheels Wowbutter
- Bear Paws Morning Snack Wowbutter & Strawberries
- Bear Paws Minis Chocolate Chip & Wowbutter
These tasty treats come individually wrapped and clearly marked with the peanut free symbol. This makes them perfect for school lunch boxes and even treat bags for birthday parties! I love that! Children with food allergies do not usually get to have fun with their food, but Dare Foods is helping to change that. As a food allergy mama I am so appreciative. I think you can tell from William’s face that he is pretty happy too. 🙂
To make back to school even more special MapleMouseMama is giving away a fabulous Dare Foods prize pack valued at $75. The following items are included, but note that substitutions may be necessary.
- Bear Paws Morning Snack Wowbutter & Strawberries
- Bear Paws Minis Chocolate Chip & Wowbutter
- Wagon Wheels Wowbutter

- An ice pack, water bottle & backpack
- A $25 Visa or Mastercard gift card

My darling niece would LOVE these!! I am still learning and would love to win these for her. My eyes were opened when I recently took a trip with her and realized how hard it is! To all of you who deal with this daily – my thoughts are with you! It is work. But with enough products like these available it hopefully will get a little better!!
